The Neogene geological record in the James Ross Island region (northern Antarctic Peninsula) is dominated by the products of at least 50 mainly effusive basaltic volcanic eruptions that are preserved predominantly as lava-fed deltas and a smaller number of tuff cones. The volcanism was persistent ov...
